I bring all my cars and friends cars too. like: Sally's-1998 Saturn and hilda's 2006 Honda civic and her brakes. joeys 2001 ford focus with a shit load of problems. my 1993 Toyota helix truck: cooling system, tires 80000miles, smog, alignment. smog; cause i need a smog more then once you know. Great prices and he is not their son. its just the family vibe you get there read more

Went here to get CAP fixing on my emissions. They tried to rip me off saying CAP covers only up to $500 and I'd have to pay for overage. Ok first off, you have not even looked at my car how would you know if it would go over $500? When my car didnt pass smog before, i paid less than $50 to have fuel cleaners, etc n it passed. Id rather just do it myself again. And worse case scenario i need a new cad converter, $300. I hate just cuz you're a girl they do shit like this. And he wanted $75 for consultation! ? Then he said it would take over a week! Bull! I'm gonna be car-less for a week or so? Really? read more

I had the best experience ever here. I brought my car to another place on Cherry for an oil change and check up and they came up with $1100 worth of things that I needed to fix "very soon." I was suspicious because on their list of things I needed done was something I had done very recently. I wanted a second opinion so I brought it here and they had my car for 5 minutes or so. They said there was nothing wrong with my car. I said I was worried because I would be driving it up to Oregon and they said I would be fine. Wow. What a relief. They seemed like very sincere people and I will be bringing my car back here. read more

Best place to get your smog done- they are quick and efficient, no frills or thrills, just straight smog business..and the asian owner is super nice and funny read more

Had to get a smog for my car. Called up they said bring it in and will be done in 10 minutes. The lady running the desk was super nice and friendly. From when I got there till I drove away was all of maybe 15 minutes. Maybe not the cheapest smog in town but the little extra money was worth the time saved and hassle free environment. read more

Both my son and I have taken our cars here to get fixed. Super nice and gracious couple. Honest with their quotes and great customer service. read more

I was looking for a local place to have my car smog checked. I called Lees at 10:30 am and drove in and had my car smogged and back home at 11:00 am. They were fast and friendly. Thanks Han and Spencer. I commented how quick they were and Spencer added that he did not need to waste my time. I really appreciate that in a business. The price for my SUV was $50 for smog check and cert. Go to these guys on a Saturday morning and you more than likely not have to wail long. read more

I had heard getting auto AC was expensive, but they took my car and fixed in just a few hours. Blows colder than ever now and only $125. Very pleasant owner. Told me to bring it right back if any problems. read more

Went in on for a smog check not knowing if my car would pass. I was offered a possibly solution, which was right on the money. My car was able to pass the smog check with flying colors. I appreciate the expertise and knowledge. Great customer service and reasonable price! read more

The team at Lee's provides great and friendly service at a very good price point. The team got me back on the road after replacing a bad coil in a few hours. read more

Came back after 2 years ago for another smog test. Fast and friendly service. If my 08 Honda ever needs service this is where ill go.

After being referred here by a friend I've been here twice now and they are always friendly, fast, and reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend them! read more

Fantastic place. They are honest and efficient. I come here for my oil changes and smog checks. Even had my brakes fixed here and was given a reasonable price. read more

I can't say enough about this place!! Friendly and HONEST!! I went there thinking I needed all kinds of work done, because that's what some other mechanic had told me, only to be told at Lee's that all I needed was an oil change!! $30 bucks later my car is running smoooooth! Spencer rocks! He's one honest mechanic! And fast too!! The Lee's are humble and sweet , Mrs. Lee will always greet you with a smile, a bottle of water and some coffee! Best service ever! As long as they are there I wouldn't take my car anywhere else! read more

I came on Wednesday August 5th in the morning to do a smog check, but their inspector was not in. Mrs. Lee rushes outside hands me a $10 coupon and asks me to come today (Thursday the 6th) to have the service done. I returned around the same time, and was in and out in under 20 minutes. The level of professionalism is incredible, I was concerned I wouldn't make it to work on time, but I have an hour to spare! Would recommend, would return! read more

Highly recommended if you are in the market for a fast no-frills smog check - look no further. My husband always comes here because Spencer is a veteran and we strive to support our local vets. I will continue to come here because Spencer is funny, fast and a real pleasure to do business with. read more

Super fast and friendly! I really appreciated not feeling jerked around. I was nervous to take my car in to any shop, as a single female with very little car knowledge, but I felt very comfortable at Lee's. I'll be back for sure. read more

It's very rare to find a mechanic who is honest, trust me. I've dealt with many who aren't. Spencer is VERY honest and knows his stuff. That's about all I can say. If you're looking for a place that has fair prices, do good work, and are honest - go here. read more

Tried calling them to see how much a synthetic oil change would cost. Lady didn't know, barely spoke english, and hung up on me... going to jiffy lube... read more

The mechanic is rude. The company ripped me off on a smog check. After knowing my truck had a modified air filter which passed two years ago. The mechanic tells me he has a problem with the air filter. He says I need some codes for the air filter to get a certicate. He's the mechanic not me. They should have never takin my money if they can't finish the job. Be careful if you go here. I thought they where going to be my new mechanics. Not now( 40.00 for nothing ) read more

Initial statement: It's an Ok shop for very small jobs, but beware. My other mechanic quoted me $500 for the job which was shocking since his labor prices doubled. Lee's Quote: Their quote was more reasonable at $280 although when the work was completed the total price was $315. I am mechanically inclined so I do know a lot about cars. Parts inquiry: They installed the CV Axles and afterwards I asked what brand were they and got no reply only "remaned". The older mechanic stated they get these since many types the boots tear very quickly and need replacing. Still, he did not tell me who remanufactured the axles that were put on my car. This is a flag: All mechanics should tell you the manufacturer of the parts going on your car and should show you the old ones! Also OEM as the mechanics state, is not the same as Honda OEM parts. It is a spec of the original part which the new part is made to. There is sometimes a big difference. Also ask how long they will honor the part. A good shop will give you at least 90 days. Noticed a vibration from bad parts installed: Fast forward a few months and I started an onsite location job, at freeway speed (So Cal freeway speed 70-80mph.) I noticed a vibration which was not there before the new axle installation. I thought it might be the tires and they needed a balance/rotation. After a few weeks of freeway driving I thought there was possibly a bad axle and went to talk to the Lees mechanic. He stated get the tires rotated and I asked "What if the vibration is still there?". He stated bring it in and "We will swap them out". I thought this to be reasonable reply. Lee's Customer Service and Quality response: After the rotation and balance, the vibration still existed. I took it back over to Lee's. There are two men there, an older and younger one "Spencer", the two mechanics talked a bit and said "Its the tires, get the tires balanced". I told them I just had that done at their suggestion and I pulled out the document that showed I recently had the rotation/balance (a week prior). We walked over to my car and looked at the tires, which are in pretty good shape. I asked if they could do anything? The younger guy "Spencer" kept looking at the America's Tire document like he was looking for a reason to blame someone else. Spencer said "We can do something but it's not the axles, it's the tires, get the tires balanced.". This is funny since he was holding a document that stated the tires just had recently been balanced/rotated. I am surprised that they did not want to test drive my car or even look at it, even when I told them I would compensate them for their time. A second major indicator of bad parts: After driving down to South OC, at the end of the day I came out to find a huge pool of oil under my car. I knew it was gear oil. The passenger side axle had come out of the gearbox about an inch causing me to loose HALF of my gearbox oil! Poor quality replacement CV axles do this. If they wobble or vibrate at any speed get rid of them. Vibration and issues solved: I decided to break down and get new axles installed in my car. Now, my car drives much better than it did before, smooth up to normal So Cal freeway speeds with no gearshift wobbling and vibration through the steering wheel. It is officially confirmed that the CV axles Lee's Auto put on my car were not good. Whoever they source their parts from must have very poor quality control and were not balanced very well. Also the vibration can lead to gearbox bearing and seal wear. Not good for the life of the car or the transmission. Reasonable compensation: To be honest with you, I think Lee's should refund at least the cost of my axle purchase even though this is a couple of years after the installation date. The added time buying the axles, determining what the actual problem was, calling in for a favor that you shouldn't of have had to, the downtime of the car during repair, are all issues I should not have had to deal with. And I originally brought the car back telling Lee's of the possible part problem. Also, during my discussion with "Spencer" he stated he doesn't care how long the part lasts!!! Once your car leaves their shop it's out of their hands! Really CV Axles should last at least 3 to 4 years. Can you believe it? I am surprised they didn't "man up" and put some new quality parts on my car after my complaint to them. They should stand behind their work, but did not and did not even think that there may be a problem. Overall, this was only $300 worth of work. If you have problems file a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair. (BAR) read more

I love these people. Fast, efficient and honest. I took my car in today because it was overheating. Another shop had told me I probably had a blown head gasket and it would cost about $1500. My granddaughter suggested I get a second opinion, so I went to Lee's Auto Service. Spencer checked it out and told me all I needed was a new radiator cap. Amazing. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Saved a ton of money. What a relief. read more

I've been going to Lee's for 19 years. I have always been satisfied with the work I've had done and the prices I was quoted & paid. The customer service is excellent, they offer you coffee & water while you wait. The staff is always nice, friendly & honest. Spencer is always friendly no matter how busy he is when I arrive. He explains the problems in a manner that I can understand. Spencer has always followed through on the repair work and completed in a timely manner. As I've sat in the waiting area a few times, I've observed they have repeated customers who also seem satisfied with their work and customer service. Spencer is the best and I always feel at ease when I drive up with a problems. Thank you for the service I've received for so many years........ A VA Rose:) read more

We were longtime customers. A year ago, Mr. Lee charged me $900 for new clutch plate, which was fine. It wasn't installed properly and started shuddering a few months in. The best I could get was a $100 discount -- so an additional $800 to do what should have been done before. Moving on. read more

I've used this place for years for SMOG and was very happy with them. I decided to have them do my clutch job. The price they quoted was reasonable and comparable to other garages. A few days later, I took the car back and noted that the clutch felt soft; they laughed and said I just wasn't used to the new clutch and to give it time. I brought it back because it wasn't shifting smooth. I decided maybe they were right and let it go. But a few weeks later, the car started a screeching noise whenever the clutch was let out. I brought it back and they sprayed WD-40 on it and told me that there was a little rust on something but now it's fine. Squeaking stopped for 2 days but came back. Took it to another garage who told me that the clutch bearing had not been replaced in the original job. It cost me an additional $400 for them to go in and replace it. I was so disappointed with Lee's. I had taken it back a couple of times knowing something wasn't right but they just shined me on. That is really unfortunate. You can trust them for SMOG, they are very helpful and friendly but as far as large repairs, me, well I'll take my car elsewhere. read more

Called in the AM to inquire about cost for oil change due to my normal service center closing....... Lee quoted me $25.00 for a2006 Dodge Magnum. I arrived at the location at roughly 1:30pm and they got me right in....... I spoke with the mechanic Spencer about the cost to change my brakes because it was a loud squeaking noise, he lifted my car on the hoist, conducted a brake inspection detailing all info on my brakes. He explained I didn't need new brakes, I just had a rock wedged between the pad and wheel area....... Didn't charge a dime for the info. I know other places that would have taken this opportunity to make the customer buy even though they didn't need it........ Come time to pay for my oil change and Spencer explained that I needed an additional quart of oil which would bring the price to $30, but since Lee quoted $25.00 hell only charge $25.00 and I'd just know the price for next time.......; you know what, certainly will and I'll certainly be back for further services!! Great staff and solid work!! read more

Honest people, and honest service. So many auto shops are out to make a fortune off a customer, but not Lee's

Friendly, honest, reasonably priced mom-and-pop auto shop - have gotten repair work and smog checks here (they're STAR certified). Not the cheapest smog check, but fast and easy. read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Lee's Automotive. They are the most honest and fair mechanics I have ever been to in the 20 years I've been getting auto services. I've had services done there twice after being referred by a couple of different people. I've also referred two people there recently which had been told by other mechanics that they needed services done which were going to be several hundred dollars to then have Mr. Lee tell one of them there was nothing wrong with her car at all. The other person my wife, he fixed her car within 5-10 minutes which was just a spark plug and he didn't charge her anything at all! After fixing my car Mrs. Lee (I assume) the sweet lady that runs the front office sent me off with an ice cold water bottle. I highly recommend trying Lee's automotive next time you need your car serviced they are very professional and I have also not had my services done so quickly anywhere else. read more

Great service. Fair prices and nice people! We took our cars in for smog certification. Service was fast and friendly.

The car wouldn't start. I was hoping it was the battery, but that wasn't the case. My friend raved about Mr. Lee. I also checked Yelp. Good reviews of service and price, so I had the car towed. It wasn't a cheap fix, the "starter" usually isn't, but he gave me the lowest price (I called around for other estimates). By the time I got back, he not only changed out the starter, but fixed a couple of other problems. Very nice people! I will certainly go back! read more

Been coming here for 15+years and always been satisfied with services. Mr. Lee and Spencer won't let you down!!!!

I came here because it's close to my house at first the lady at the desk would be nice after my car didn't pass and was explained why I asked if it had to be Star certified or normal smog check after they charged me even though I didn't pass which is weird because it should be free when I've done it before if it doesn't pass I want to ask her does it have to be Star certified or could I go do it at all regular small check place she got mad and hung up on me and kept telling me that they were closed when they still had another customer I don't get it I went back and I'm guessing her husband talk to me and he explained to me that I could go to a regular one which is what I wanted to know after charging me she can't even give me information about my own car she needs to learn some good customer service after you charge someone for something that should be free you can even give them information read more

Very cordial. Was seen right away. Diagnosed my problem right away which ended up not being a major issue. Oil change is around 50 dollars. Would come back again. read more

I love this place. I've been in a few times for minor (very minor) repairs and they didn't even charge me. This was my go-to place when I had my busted old Nissan altima and now I have them service my new car. Thank God for honest, reliable, cost friendly places like Lee's. read more

I get all my smog checks done here on both my vehicles. In and out in under 30 minutes every time even when there are two people ahead of me. The lady who runs the office is very nice and always provides bottled water. I can't speak to their repair services but if you want a quick smog check it is the place to go. Smog check on my Mercedes was $49.75. read more

Everyone is right. Spencer is a very nice guy. I had some questions about my check engine light being on and needing a smog test and he kindly answered them giving me good advice and referred me to the best place to go to fix the problem. read more

My experience w/ Lee's Auto Service has been fantastic. I found them online last March because I had to get my car smogged and have been going to them ever since. Great prices, good service, and even my husband starting taking his car there (which is the biggest compliment of all because he has a basic distrust for auto mechanics). I have referred a few of my friends and they all have great things to say about them. read more

Brought my car there for squeaky brakes expecting them to fix them and charge me $100 plus. Fortunately, they're honest. They inspected the brake pads - took off the tires and everything. I stood there for 20 minutes waiting for a quote. What I got was a lot better. They told me my brake pads were fine? Showed me how much of the pads were left and explained that the brakes on my make of car sometimes squeak. They didn't charge me a penny! Whoo-hoo, happy days. :-) Love them! read more

Lee's is the best. They are fast, professional, and courteous. I send everyone there for smog checks and always hear positive feedback.
